At our summer partycipate at the Sandstraße there was a really great after hour at the Nelson Lounge.After the event it was clear that it would be a great place for some small but intense parties! So my friend Thomas had the idea for a Feki.de party there. Unluckily the party team of Feki.de was not very convinced of celebrating at this venue. But although there was not much support to expect from Feki.de the idea for a party was born. A “Sandkerwa® Wake-Up-Party”.

The day before the Sandkerwa starts is traditionally a good day to party since the opening restriction at the festival area don’t yet apply (parties are only allowed until 1am during the festival) and everyone can’t expect to party. But how can we promote such a party without too much effort, and without the help of a small teaser on Feki.de to inform the students?
The plan to do this is quite easy – convince enough opinion leaders to join the party and make them tell there friends. This approach should be sufficient to fill a small party location like the Nelson Lounge. And as we all remember – it worked for the first participate–parties, too. The approach five years ago was different:

There were flyers (at least basic ones) to promote the event.

It took place during the semester, when a lot of students were in town.

There was a group of ten people personally inviting all the friends they met at the university (I very well remember To walking from table to table at the university cafeteria inviting people).

And last but not least there was advertisement running all over the small Feki.de platform (which of course had only a very limited number of users at this time

This time we

personally invited all (about 70) Feki.de members (pointing out the outstanding atmosphere at the last party at the Nelson Lounge)
